The renal resistance index (RRI) has been demonstrated to be a useful parameter that can detect patients at a high risk of worsening of renal function (WRF). This study was designed to evaluate the role of the RRI in predicting WRF mediated by the intravascular administration of contrast media. We enrolled patients who were referred for coronary angiography.

Confirmations at individual level, however, are lacking. To explore the relationships between previous exposure to particulate matter < 10 μm (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO), the clinical outcome following hospital admittance, and lymphocyte subsets in COVID-19 patients with pneumonia.

In the presence of normal coronary angio, a specific work-up showed chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension requiring pulmonary endarterectomy. The case highlights the need for a global cardiovascular and imaging approach in presence of poorly specific symptoms and signs of coronary artery disease.
